I'm just guessing here, but in PS/SS, one of the twins asks why
Percy got new robes. '"Because he's a *prefect*," said their
mother fondly." Charlie might have done something outstanding
- won an award or gotten particularly good grades - to be
rewarded with a new wand.
On the other hand, the Weasleys don't have a lot of money, so
hand-me-downs would be the natural order of things at the
Burrow. Charlie would be nearer to graduation and making his
entry into the 'real' world, so the money would be spent on him.
Ron will get his turn somewhere down the road, but until then -
or until something is unfixably broken :) - he gets the used stuff
(doesn't canon say he got Bill's old robes, Charlie's old wand
and Percy's old rat?)
Although ... does Ginny have somebody else's wand, or did she
get a new one? Or was that ever clarified?
